Room was clean but noisy from parties. Was a little bit out of the way. There was a good corner store and chippy close by.

Everything was perfect at Dalys Inn. I believe the owner actually gave me my key. He was very sweet. But unfortunately, there must’ve been a some sort of game and the pub next-door was shooting off fireworks, partying, and very loud with a microphone until about 3:30 in the morning. It would’ve been perfect if we could’ve partied with them, but we had to get up at 3:30 and go to the airport on no sleep.

Honestly it wasn't that great a place to stay with a family. I had booked it going by the photos on the Expedia website believing it was family friendly. We landed and the staff in the restaurant and bar staff just walked about aimlessly and looked to dilly dally. I assume it is because I wasn't a local. The room had paint peeling and the carpet was rotten. The curtain pole was about to fall and sheets on the bed smelt musky. My wife tried to get into the bar to see if anything could've been done to even move us but the crowd was out the door so we left in the car and drove about the roads for a while before coming back to the room. I know their local team has just won a cup so expected some buzz about, but to have a member of staff say, good luck trying to sleep tonight cause it won't happen was very off putting. Then there were the locals letting off fireworks near my car and Daly's gas tank with no remorse. Needless to say me, my wife and daughter who is 9 didn't stay, didn't even sleep in the beds. We left about 2am and slept in our car at the apple greens ok route to Dublin airport. If you were going on a hen party or stag do, then yes this would be ok, but as I said not for a family.

It was a little unclear how to check in. The rooms were in one building and the check in was at the restaurant next door. Signage would have been helpful. A restaurant customer noticed us looking “lost” and directed us to the checkin area. The rest of the stay was very comfortable and smooth.

Room was clean and newly updated, the rest of the Inn was in progress. It was dark and oddly in a separate building from the pub. Check in was confusing, and there was nowhere to drop the key on check out

Fraudulent reservation for non-existent B&B

There was no stay. I had a reservation for 2 nights, rec'd numerous emails from hotels.com about it (including the one linking to this survey) only to get there and be told the B&B closed in Nov 2022 and there was no lodging to be had. They literally laughed when we walked in. I contacted hotels.com online, only to be told they couldn't help. I spent 1 1/2 hours trying to get lodging for that night (it was after 5pm when we arrived and were turned away). All the 'local' lodging was full. The next night, when we had found a place to stay, I called hotels.com - spent over 1 3/4 hours being put on hold & transferred between people. The first person gave me a hard time for not contacting hotels.com right away, despite my fully explaining the situation - spent over 2o minutes harping on the fact I had checked in and was just now a day later calling the help desk. I again explained there was no check-in to be had and that I had contacted the help desk. I was put on a long hold, then told by 2 different people that I would be fully refunded which was followed by times by another long hold then being transferred again. The last person told me I'd have to contact my credit card company & the best they could do was a $100 coupon towards a future reservation - wouldn't even let me put it towards what was then a current reservation I had a few days later. I will NEVER do business with hotels.com again, and I will emphatically discourage others from doing so. This is FRAUD!

stay somewhere else

Booked the wrong date late on a Thursday night. Sent a special request to update the date to the following Friday which was ignored by the property. Spoke to the owner and they said that since they'd already taken the money they wouldn't change the date without being paid again. Shocking money grabbing exercise. Stay somewhere else.
